"Warriors of the Empire, get ready for battle, hold on to your guns, and polish your bayonets. The glory of the Empire lies in your hands. The despicable Chinese have blocked the Empire's railways and threatened the interests of the Empire.
.You must stand up bravely and teach them the most painful lesson."
Kawai Soo loudly lectured in front of the Japanese soldiers: "The Empire defeated China and defeated Russia. Our predecessors used their blood and lives to create the glory of the Empire. We must continue to persevere. For His Majesty the Emperor, conquer Manchuria.
Conquer China!"
"Onboard! Onboard!" Japanese soldiers shouted louder than ever.
Looking at the Japanese soldiers with high morale, Kawai Cao showed a satisfied smile. With such an army, he can definitely conquer the entire Manchuria easily, let those bullshit Fengjun tremble!
Japan finally decided to launch an attack on Fengjun on the grounds that Fengjun had cut off the South Manchuria Railway. Akajiri Masasuke held a press conference there. The Japanese here had entered a state of war readiness and were about to launch an attack on Liaoyang.
"Hurry up, hurry up! Get the bullets over there."
"The trenches here need to be reinforced and deeper."
"Soldiers on the front line are prepared for hand-to-hand combat."
Jiang Dengxuan continued to inspect the Liaoyang front line and personally made arrangements to make the soldiers make final preparations. The battle with the Japanese might start in the next moment. All officers were summoned to the temporary headquarters.
"Everyone, it is not our choice to fight or not to fight. The Japanese have their bayonets pointed at us. We must pick up the guns in our hands and fight them desperately. Whether we like it or not, this is the mission of a soldier. You
Remember, sixty kilometers behind you is Fengtian, which is our base camp. No matter how many Japanese troops come, we must stop them!"
"Commander-in-Chief, don't worry, we will never embarrass Fengjun!"
Jiang Dengxuan was satisfied and asked everyone to command the battle. At the same time, he called over Tian Mu, who was in charge of the special force. Jiang Dengxuan said to him: "Currently in Liaoyang, our troops have a slight advantage, but in the Luda area, there is still a brigade.
The Japanese soldiers may increase their numbers at any time, and your task is to use the fastest speed to go back to the rear of the South Manchuria Railway and destroy this railway after the war begins."
Tian Mu hurriedly saluted a military salute and said loudly: "Promise to complete the mission!"
The special forces were mobilized, and the Air Force would not neglect it. Although Jiang Dengxuan had only eight planes in the future, the number was very small. Fortunately, the Japanese did not have them. That would be effective. He ordered the planes to take off immediately to detect every move of the Japanese.
In addition, once a war breaks out, these aircraft can also provide target command for artillery.
Jiang Dengxuan fully mobilized all the forces at his disposal, not only the army, but also the people of Liaoyang.
A few years ago, Liaoyang suffered a tragic flood. Nearly 100,000 people were at a critical moment of life and death. At that time, Zhang Tinglan and Wang Yongjiang personally presided over the disaster relief here, implemented the farm model, and agreed with the victims that they would obtain land within five years.
Although the five years have not yet come, the effects have already been seen. The homes of the victims are changing every year, and they have reached a big level every year. Many families have not only repaid their loans, but also built new houses. For the first time, they have something in their pockets.
With the deposit, the baby can go to school.
For these ordinary people, this was something they had never dared to think about in their lifetime, but now it has become a reality. It can be said that Zhang Tinglan's support in Liaoyang is the first in the three northeastern provinces.
Just after Jiang Dengxuan formulated the mobilization plan, militiamen and civilians from all over the country were organized. More than 20,000 people took the initiative to serve as the Fengjun's logistics team, and a steady stream of supplies was transported.
Not only that, militiamen from all over the country have formed raiding teams, and their target is the South Manchuria Railway. As soon as the gunshots are fired, they will destroy all the railways without mercy.
Seeing Liaoyang turned into a super military camp, Jiang Dengxuan was also very emotional. Zhang Tinglan had worked hard for three or four years, and now he finally saw the results. With the support of these people, no matter how many Japanese came, he had the confidence to fight to the death.
The army is not duckweed, but a fish, and the people are water. With water, fish can swim freely. The wider the public support, the wider the water, and the greater the chance of victory.
After various forces were mobilized one after another, Jiang Dengxuan no longer worried about the Japanese. Feng Jun was sure to make them bloody!
At this time, Kawai Cao was still full of confidence and was about to issue an attack order to the artillery unit. However, a staff officer ran over in a panic and sent a secret telegram to him.
Kawai Cao was shocked when he saw it: "How is it possible? How can the imperial government retreat at this time? I don't believe it. Someone must have made a mistake!"
While he was yelling, the second telegram arrived. The wording was even tougher than the first one, telling him not to start a war, and to retreat thirty kilometers to show friendship!
Two consecutive telegrams showed that Japan attached great importance to this matter, and Kawai Soo had to stop the tank that was about to start at this juncture!
"I'd like to say that when the army arrives in Fengtian, it would be too boring if you don't send troops to assist us, but instead hold a press conference first!"
"Mr. Minyuan, you shouldn't say that. Our number one enemy is the Japanese, not Guo Songling. If we don't keep the Japanese back, all the pots and jars in our house will be beaten to pieces!"
Zhang Tinglan held a press conference to announce the truth about Zhang Zuolin's murder, which made Japan unprecedentedly passive in international public opinion. They had previously accused Fengjun of sabotaging the South Manchuria Railway and used this as an excuse to start a war against Fengjun.
But when the truth about Zhang Zuolin's case was announced, the Japanese immediately lost all excuses. They assassinated Zhang Zuolin, so the Japanese military mobilization was definitely not to protect overseas Chinese, but to take the opportunity to annex the three northeastern provinces. Japan
It is understandable that people are baring their ferocious fangs and that the army should take some defensive actions.
On the contrary, the United States, Britain and other countries have to join forces to put pressure on Japan. The First World War is over and the great powers can take a breath. They are absolutely unwilling to see Japan break the pattern of the Far East. The United States, Britain and France jointly lodged a protest with the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
The Japanese were asked to explain the death of Zhang Zuolin. At the same time, the United States and Britain announced an economic sanctions plan. If Japan dares to provoke a war, they will cut off the supply of strategic materials.
The change in international trends finally made the Japanese feel strong pressure. They had to stop the Kwantung Army's actions and carefully weigh the pros and cons.
"The Japanese are devils, Guo Songling is also a devil, and he is also a difficult devil. In the past few days, we have been fighting with him. Yang Linge tried his best, but he still lost half of the university town and more than 20% of the city.
Factory area. If you don’t come back, we won’t be able to hold on anymore!”
What Wang Yongjiang said is true. Guo Songling is a strong general, and his commanding ability is among the best among the Fengjun. Compared with a staff-oriented talent like Yang Yuting, Guo Songling is better at confronting opponents and charging on the battlefield.
In fact, a group of inexperienced rookies were left to deal with Guo Songling. Zhang Tinglan was still a little arrogant. Several times, Guo Songling almost completely broke through the defense line and took the arsenal in hand.
However, Guo Songling also faces several major shortcomings. The first is the problem of military morale. Many soldiers do not work hard and are simply willing to fight civil war; the second is that Guo Songling is really not good at urban street fighting and it is difficult to use his own advantages; the third is that at this time
Guo Songling's military use has not yet reached its peak. His experience accumulation is not yet sufficient.
With these unfavorable conditions superimposed, Yang Yuting also lost a lot of positions, which shows how powerful Guo Songling is. Zhang Tinglan sighed slightly: "Guo Songling is indeed talented. If he doesn't get to this point, he will be more powerful when dealing with the Japanese in the future.
Definitely a good player.”
"If your fate is like this, don't think too much about it. The Japanese threat has not been lifted yet, and the Marshal's case has not been concluded yet. It is better to defeat Guo Songling as soon as possible and stabilize the overall situation."
Zhang Tinglan also nodded in agreement and hurriedly began to mobilize his troops. After Guo Songliao learned that Zhang Tinglan had led his troops to return for reinforcements, he also started to make adjustments early and deployed a large number of defenses in Fengtian City.
"Teacher, the Japanese have sent another letter, asking you to declare that you will accept their protection or that you can live in exile in Japan..." Before Wang Yuanqing could finish speaking, Guo Songling snatched the letter and tore it into pieces in his hands.
.
"Yuanqing, people can do wrong things, but they can't do it all the time, especially if they go so far as to betray their ancestors. As a soldier, I can never be like Qin Hui, and I look down on those cowards who are exiled abroad. I will fight in Fengtian, and
Zhang Zhuoyan fights to see who is more capable."
Guo Songling's words at this time also revealed his thoughts. The main reason why he has reached this point is his mind. He cannot allow a person like Zhang Tinglan, who is much younger than him, to rise rapidly. He always wants to compete with Zhang Tinglan. Over time,
It became an irreparable gap, and eventually reached the point of fighting each other.
"Yuan Qing, is the reserve team I asked you to prepare ready?"
"It's ready!"
Guo Songling nodded, and then said: "When Zhang Tinglan launches the attack, this reserve team will attack the arsenal again. Only by winning here can we have a slight chance of winning."
"Teacher, we couldn't attack it before. It might be a little difficult to attack now!"
Guo Songling sneered: "The art of war is all about surprise. The defenders in the factory area are all new recruits. Once they know that reinforcements are coming, they will relax their vigilance and take advantage of it. If we fight for such a long time, if my arms
It's enough, and maybe I can defeat Zhang Tinglan, so go make arrangements!"
While he was talking, someone suddenly came to report that Zhang Xueliang had come to see him. Upon hearing this, Guo Songling frowned at first, then relaxed, and said with a smile: "Let Han Qing come in, we should meet him too."
Meet."
"Guo Maochen, you big liar, what did you say to me back then? How come your family, country and world have become empty words? Aren't you serving the country and the people? Why have you become an accomplice of the Japanese and a traitor now? I look down on you.
you!"
Zhang Xueliang scolded loudly as soon as they met, while Guo Songling's face not only had no angry expression, but also had a faint smile.
"Han Qing, we have been together for a while now, so you don't have to blame me. Maybe we will never see each other again."
When Zhang Xueliang saw Guo Songling's sad expression, he felt a little sad in his heart, and said with a wry smile: "Maochen, you already know the result, why are you still so stubborn? You can't beat Zhu Yan. Even if you can defeat Zhu Yan,
He said this once or twice, but he has enough troops, the border guards have already moved south, and soon the large army will arrive at Fengtian, what chance do you have of winning?"
"Han Qing, whether there is a chance of winning or not, I will give it a try. Didn't Zhang Tinglan always like to use his small skills to make big gains and have a great time fighting the Japanese? I will try too, risk my life and survive. I believe
There is still a glimmer of hope."
"It's different." Zhang Xueliang shook his head: "There is no way to fight against the Japanese. This is a civil war and you are killing each other. Do you know that?"
Guo Songling's face finally showed a painful expression, and he stared up at the ceiling. After a long while, he said: "How can I be bright when I am born with Yu! I have no way back, Han Qing, if the old commander is dead, you are the head of the family and you have to bear the responsibility."
You must take your own responsibilities and learn to protect yourself.”
"Zhang Tinglan is a deep-minded person, but he also has a far-sighted vision. He probably won't deliberately embarrass you. I'll give you six words: Don't seek power, don't form cliques. Only in this way can you ensure your safety!" (To be continued...
